The UST Golden Booters shone brightly after upsetting the defending champion UP Fighting Maroons, 1-0, in the UAAP Season 87 men’s football tournament on Thursday, Sept. 19, at the UP Diliman Football Pitch.

UST ended their 12-game losing streak against the Fighting Maroons and avenged their heartbreaking exit against the same team on penalties at last season’s Final Four showdown in the process.

Kyler Escobar found the back of the net in the 28th minute of play after UP goalie Alfonso Gonzales failed to defend the deadlock.

The Fighting Maroons tried to force an equalizer but were ultimately denied by Golden Booter goalie Miguel Abada for the rest of the match.

UST now holds their first three points of the season and will look to ride their early winning momentum against the DLSU Green Booters on Oct. 6 at the same venue.

President

Miguel Sumalinog is the President of TomasinoWeb. Mostly known as “Suma” among his friends and peers, he was exposed to campus media and photography way before he was a Thomasian and owes major credit to those initial experiences. He portrays his commitment through his various outputs in photography especially in covering UAAP content for the publication. As leads in TomasinoWeb’s Photography department, he has exposure to the non-stop action that the UAAP and other leagues offer. Outside of the sports beat, Suma also covers various campus events and national happenings as work doesn’t stop with his beat alone and venturing out of it provides experience that cannot be taught within the four corners of a classroom. When he’s not fanboying over Eya Laure and Cassie Carballo during volleyball coverages, Suma spends most of his time in front of his computer playing VALORANT and other various competitive games. He also passes time on the court by playing badminton.
